[PEN-L:28638] another question

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian's article on GE capital says that the division earns 40
percent of the profits of GE.  Robert Manning gave a similar
statistic for the interest that Circuit City earns.  Microsoft
and Dell supposedly earned considerable profits playing option
markets.

When profits are shown for financial and non-financial
corporations, how do they break out the profits for non-financial
corporations' financial profits.
